More of a good Blue Hill thing

More of a good Blue Hill thing 07/09/2004 09:40 PM
New York has a review of the new Blue Hill at Stone Barns 30 miles north of New York City in Pocantico Hills, New York. I'm a big fan of Blue Hill in Greenwich Village, and when I first heard about the new spot, I added it to my list of restaurants to check out. Sounds delicious. Also if you're interested in Blue Hill, be sure and check out the article (not available online), "Back on the Farm" in the July 2004 Gourmet by Blue Hill chef Dan Barber. It's all about going to his family farm with his staff to plant and pick veggies. Sounds wonderful. And yummy!

Why Google News Is a *Good* Thing

Why Google News Is a *Good* Thing 09/30/2002 01:19 AM
8 Reasons Why Google News Is a *Good* Thing Dave writes how he's not impressed by Google News. Exact post: Google PR sends a message that they have a new News service. Maybe I'm slow this morning, or maybe I'm spoiled, but what's the big deal. I thought they already had this. My personal aggregator is better, it shows me what I'm interested in, it's not one size fits all. Help me figure this out. I'm sure there's something innovative here, I just don't see it. Permalink From a technical perspective I'm not sure that there is a lot that's new here. I still think this is huge though: My aggregator is just that mine -- I heavily tilt it in favor of tech / blogging / highly ecclectic stuff. I don't get general purpose "What's Going On" news -- and, sure, that's my fault. So what? A personal aggregator is always or at least often going to be this way. Google is giving me a much more balanced viewpoint. That's huge. Google is integrating foreign and U.S. feeds into one composite display. Given that there are differences in how U.S. media report stories versus foreign media, this makes it very apparent and that's good. The U.S. media is not always right. The user interface is highly functional -- I could easily see my Mom using Google News. I couldn't see her using a "traditional" aggregator be it Radio, AmphetaDesk, Drupal or another. The concept of aggregation is fundamentally important and one of the very real contributions that UserLand made to us all. Still aggregation doesn't mean squat beyond a small group of folks. Google News will introduce the concept very widely. Everything is very clearly time stamped i.e. "55 minutes ago". It's not going to get confused when someone re-edits a url they've already posted so the same thing shows up as new repeatedly. A Caveat. Google's reputation is such that I feel that they did a good job of picking the news sources which is particularly important for foreign information. When I caught the Indonesian bombing news this morning, I trusted the sources that Google chose to show me since they're from Google. Now that may be naive and perhaps it is but a lot of us will do that. They aren't relying on XML feeds so they aren't dependent on news sources that lack feeds like Voice of America. And while there are lots of ways to build these, it's generally non-trivial. Google News isn't going to replace my aggregator any time soon but it is a good tool that I can see myself using regularly. Visit Google News

Maybe teenage pregnancy is a good thing

Maybe teenage pregnancy is a good thing 07/18/2004 06:41 PM

Now that I'm 40 years old most of my friends are in their riper years.  The women who are trying to have children in their late 30s and early 40s are going through torture.  Hormones, needles, in-vitro fertilization, miscarriages, etc.  Maybe teenage pregnancy isn't such a bad idea after all.  I wonder if in pre-industrial societies it wasn't the case that the grandparents did most of the child-rearing that required judgement and experience.  The teenage girl did the child-bearing but was still living surrounded by extended family so that her 30-35-year-old mom and mother-in-law could provide adult guidance for the baby.  Perhaps we believe that teenage pregnancy is bad only because our family structures have been broken up.

Government wifi in Philadephia is a good
thing 09/03/2004 12:45 AM

Philad elphia is considering investing $10M to blanket 135 square miles with wifi coverage.

I agree with David Weinberger that the wifi project in Philadelphia is a good thing. Like David, I hear and understand the arguments against government running things that businesses can do, but I think that in the case of some of the low cost basic infrastructure like this, I think municipal governments can often deploy and run it just fine. I think that we need to start thinking of parts of our network as assets like roads, which can and should be run by government.

I will add that in most cases I believe in free markets and competition for this sort of thing.

NetBSD and Yellow Dog Linux have both begun to support the Mac Mini. This article looks at the open source operating system options on this new contender in the embedded PowerPC platform space. The article provides the current state of Linux and NetBSD support on the Mini. If you need a stable kernel, a C compiler, and network support, the code is high-quality and the price is unbeatable. This is part two in the series. Part One covered the potential use of the Mac mini as a high-end embedded development board.

Yahoo should do the right thing!

Yahoo should do the right thing! 12/24/2004 12:46 PM

I have about a dozen e-mail accounts spread all over the net but I keep a printout in our safety deposit box along with many other things a print-out of all of my login names and passwords in a sealed envelope.

But not everyone has pre-planned for something bad happening to them. A Marine who was unfortunately killed in action in Iraq has a Yahoo e-mail account that the family is trying to secure before the account expires. Yahoo has refused to give the account password to the family.

E-mail accounts could contain information that the family would cherish but it also could contain information that would leave a bad taste in their mouth. I think Yahoo should give in to the families wishes, but I would hope with enough public pressure they would turn the account over. [CNN]

Believe it or not, web email isn't really our bailiwick, at least until it starts intersecting with mobile devices and what have you, but it is at least worth mentioning that Yahoo has upgraded its existing free email service from 4MB to 100MB, and is offering a 2GB ad-free version for $20 a year. Good news for those of you that don't want to change email addresses. (Thanks to everyone that sent this in.)

I'm reading RSS feeds for the first time in over a day and just came across Yahoo Emerges From Dot-Com Gloom which seems to do a good job of summarizing the highs and lows from the last few years at Yahoo. Yeah, it's a bit dramatic in places ("After a mortifying two-year slump") but pretty good overall. Well, it was good right up until the end when I read this. Yahoo's early $10 million investment in Google is likely to...

What's good for General Motors is good

GM in trouble: "If you erased the company name from the balance sheet and showed it to a forensic accountant, the recommended treatment would probably be to seek protection from creditors by filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. " GM's troubles are as much a result of the exploding costs of health care as they are due to the company's dropping market share. In Canada increasing health care costs (PDF with many charts) are taking a greater and greater share of government expenditures. In the US it's hurting big employers and regular people. But either way the problem doesn't seem likely to get better any time soon.

Unitarianism: good enough for two

Unitarianism: good enough for two
presidents, not good enough for Texas 05/19/2004 02:47 AM
The state of Texas has denied Unitarians tax-exempt religious status because the church "does not have one system of belief." As Julia notes, Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams were sufficiently convinced of the Unitarians' religiosity that they actually were Unitarians.

Never before -- not in this state or any other -- has a government agency denied Unitarians tax-exempt status because of the group's religious philosophy, church officials say. Strayhorn's ruling clearly infringes upon religious liberties, said Dan Althoff, board president for the Denison congregation that was rejected for tax exemption by the comptroller's office.
